2.5 diesel using water
About 2litres every 50 miles, I've had a new pump and radiator and there are no leaks, the pressure is running high and blowing water through the expansion bottle cap. No obvious signs of a gasket or head leak .

Check the head bolt torque. From what I've herd they like to loosen up after 50,000 or so miles. If its not that then you might have a cracked head or a bad gasket. Its common for them to go if the head bolts arent checked up on using the dealer recomended intervals.
